Moved this to the Lounge as it's not really an ad.
Is this something for your local clubs though? We could move it into the locality forum as such. I assume you're not talking about making these rules on Canreef because I am not going to enforce these rules without a 6 figure salary with huge bonuses regardless of yearly performance (it turns out the Health Superboard CEO job is already taken, darn it all).

Tony this is why these are guidelines. These are for personal use, not Canreef Forums / policy. This sort arose when at the local meeting when someone had mentioned they paid a lot of bucks essentially for a frag plug.

The conversation arose when we noticed that some fish stores will sell frags that are always over an inch large while other fish stores sell you frags that you can barely tell that there really is a frag on the plug because it's so small. It's like I think a see a polyp, yep there it is look real close.
It's nice when some stores give you really good sized frags, but then you expect the same from other stores and then they don't, and it gets frustrating. We were thinking it would be nice it there was some sort of industry standard were if you buy a frag from a store it should be (at the very least) half an inch in size. Personally I like the stores (like Red coral) that give you an inch or more and that is their standard frag size. It's really disappointing when other stores don't do the same. Although I guess that's why RC gets a lot of business while some other stores don't.

i like this idea since im still new and green but what about a rating system for ppl that are selling frags for example i would rate dez a five star seller he was great and helpful. i didnt know him from a hole in the ground and took a chance. now i would gladly piurchace from him any time. but the rating system could be used for all sales not just frags. so when you have dealt with a person it would be your choice to rate but as a new buyer you can check the persons rating.
just a thought it may too much coding and hastle but it would be handy

I think people are getting a little too personal with this. We never ment to offend anyone with our discussion, we were basically just throwing around the idea of an "industry standard" for frags, the most important to me being size, i hate the idea of ordering a frag from a business/private seller online and getting a 1/4" or less piece of coral, whereas on most sites, the seller doesnt tell the size or exagerates it. It doesnt happen often but it does happen, and it leaves a bad taste to the buyer in most cases....
This was never meant to be a "rule book" but was mainly put up on here to start a discussion and include more then just the few people that were at the reef meet. All ideas are welcome, more constructive the better! Steve
